Posted by Tracy in : cross-posting,events,fangirl,video,writing , add a commentToday I have kind words about my love of soccer (football for non-U.S. English discussers of the sport) over at my Open Letters blog. Also, because this post was looking so small, and because hunting around YouTube was a good way to ignore the upstairs neighbors’ music (too early for a Saturday morning, kids), a bonus video:
Also, I kinda like having this song stuck in my head.
Thank You Thursday: awesome garlic edition 3 November 2011 1:14 pm
Posted by Tracy in : cooking,food as spectator sport,friends,fun,thank you Thursday,video , add a commentToday’s “Thank you” is first and foremost to my friend Chris, who shared an awesome pro tip on Google Reader back when that meant something beyond clicking “+1″ on a link for all the world to see but not really notice (you know, like before a few days ago?) Anyway, when I made a note to blog about the item in question, I made sure to cut and paste the message Chris sent with it, because yay for awesomeness (and another thing I will miss about the old Google Reader):
TrAAA-CY!
Thanks also for that message, Chris, it made me grin. And here is the highlight video of the good news, which also made the rounds among my Facebook contacts a month or so ago, and which has made my kitchen a louder but more delicious place:
How to Peel a Head of Garlic in Less Than 10 Seconds from SAVEUR.com on Vimeo.
So there it is. Yay! My reply (again, in Reader, back when such a thing was possible, and I know I am old and cranky and hate and fear change but wah wah wah all the same) was: “I KNOW! So awesome.” And it is. Also, (more…)

It also inspired me to make a little photocollage of some of the gastronautic highlights of my travels this summer:
So, yeah, that was pretty great. You can click on any of those little images to go to bigger versions on Flickr. Some even have descriptions! Others I may have to write about at greater length some other time, and still others I did not photograph but should describe in glorious detail before they get any more faded in my memory. (Also note that these are only the pictures I took of our trip, which is why I am not in any of them; Peter has the pictures of me going “OMG NOM YES” but they aren’t in a place where I can link to them yet.)
Monkey Monday: Dan and Dan sing about eggs! 17 May 2010 7:01 pm
Posted by Tracy in : consumerism,eating,eggs,funny,monkeys,random,silly,video , add a commentI know, I know, I’m about a million years behind on all the awesomeness the Intergoogletwitfacetubes have to offer, but big thanks to Ze Frank for blogging about Dan and Dan’s Daily Mail song, so I could waste a dryer cycle watching their videos, including this gem, which is going to be stuck in my head for the foreseeable future, not that there’s anything wrong with that:
Yay for fun songs that combine eggs and tea—two of my very favorite things!

And now, for something less completely different. (more…)
